The Most Inspirational Person in My Life
By: Kelly B

My Irish dance coach is a very big inspiration in my life. He is also an fabulous person to and all of my friends and I. He has changed my life in many different ways. I think that he is so kind and I want to share some reasons why. My dance teacher has a very big inspiration on me and I think that he should be more recognized.

One of the reasons is, that he really knows how to teach in a fun and exiting way. I know this because he once helped teach a boy named Jason in Huston. Jason moved up and won worlds in Ireland. He also corrects you. But when he corrects you he shows you how it be done and the right way. He shows us the timing, the rhythm, and the style. My dance coach never fills with rage when you get something wrong or don’t understand what he is telling you to do. He just keeps explaining in different way until you understand. Like a bird teaching it’s chicks to fly.

My dance coach also has extremely high expectations for us. He has high expectations for us because he knows that we can do it even if we don’t think we can. He wants us to practice at home almost every day to get a chance to practice one thing over and over again. Just like you have to keep practicing your work for school. He wants us to work even harder on what he tells us we need to improve on in class. My coach also expects us to do the best we can in every aspect of dance like our confidence. He knows that we have confidence but we just need to bring it out and show it off.

Last but not least, he pushes us as hard as he can push us. He wills not let us give up on a move until we have it down perfect to the last little flick of the foot. My dance coach has long pep talks with us every dance class and says that dance is like school. “You have to do homework at school so you have to practice in dance.” That has helped me learn the lesson of true perseverance and to not stop trying. My dance coach also teaches us of perseverance. He teaches us to push ourselves through the pain and obstacles that might come to you like blisters and school and to just ignore them and still push tour self till it is absolutely necessary to stop working.

As you can see I have a magnificent dance coach that has taught me all I know about dance. He taught us about perseverance, ability, and my confides that I have now thanks to my dance coach. That is why I think that my dance coach has the biggest inspiration on me. He is a marvelous person to all my friends and I. and I hope that he will be my teacher for a really long time.
